Welcome to the forum, Fong Cheng Loy,
I have never tried both blades so I cannot answer your question. However Shamada is 5 wood and 2 Arylate, so if you like the Arylate feeling, I would rather take Taksim which has a carbon layer. I had one before but now I sold it because it is too heavy for me.

It's a 5ply wood blade. Off- speeds.

It's also got a Kiri core, not a balsa core.

Hard feel and lots of vibration. The Yoshida should be lower throw and have less vibration. As both are hard, maybe a softer sponge rubber woulld be good.

The specification seems to be contradicting, on the blade it said all wood, but on the blade specifications it said 5W/2A. :?

No, it's an all wood blade. There's often typos on the specifications.

A teammate had one and I've played with it.
